    Bridging Community, History, and Culture in Personal Informatics Tools: Insights from an Existing Community-Based Heart Health Intervention for Black Americans
    (ACM, 2022-01) Martin-Hammond, Aqueasha; Purnell, Tanjala S.; Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    A healthy diet and increased physical activity are essential for reducing the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and related deaths, a worldwide public health concern that disproportionately affects Black American communities. Still, Black Americans can face unique challenges meeting dietary and physical activity requirements due to inequities in access and quality of care, environmental and local factors, and difficulties in changing individual health behaviors. Personal informatics and self-tracking tools are one way of increasing awareness of health behaviors to motivate behavior change. However, there are still gaps in knowledge about what encourages different users to engage with personal informatics tools over time, particularly when used in collaborative, community-health settings. This paper contributes a nuanced understanding of fifteen participants' reasons for engaging in an existing community-based health education and behavior change program that combines collaborative self-tracking with culturally relevant content and social engagement to motivate heart-healthy behaviors. We illustrate participants' positive and negative experiences engaging in self-tracking and collaborative tasks during the program. We also discuss how participants envision that integrating technology might support or hinder participant engagement and the work of deploying community-based public health interventions. Finally, we discuss design implications for culturally informed, community-based personal informatics tools that engage Black American's in heart-healthy activities.

    The projects in this interactive poster symposium explore ways of engaging learners with social justice issues through the design and study of data literacy interventions. These interventions span classroom to museum contexts, and environmental to social sciences domains. Together, they illustrate research and practice approaches for engaging learners withdata to promote emancipatory activity.
